GENERAL INFORMATION AND TOUR CONDITIONS:
Price: The price of the tour is subject to the Terms and Conditions and exchange rate fluctuations. The price of the tour package is based on a minimum of 12 passengers and a reduction in this number may lead to a price adjustment for the tour package.
Deposit and Payments: A deposit of €300 PER PERSON is payable once the booking form has been received and an invoice is forwarded to the client. The deposit is NOT refundable unless in the case of the cancellation of the tour by the tour operators. A final statement listing the the tour package will be e-mailed to you approximately 13 weeks prior to departure and is payable within 72 hours (3 days) of presentation. No cancellations can be accepted after this date and the full relevant package price for the tour is payable if cancellations are made after this date.
